Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Vermont Not Ahead Yet.—This pig story from Vermont is behind the times as given by W. H. Dow. James Low comes to the front and says, “there is nothing new under the sun.” In the summer of 1845 he moved from Kenosha, Wisconsin to Millburn, Illinois. Among his effects was a young pig. About June 1, it was missing, but later was found by Richard Shatswell, Justice Shatswell’s father. Mr. Shatswell said he found the pig subsisting from a cow. James Low led the pig home after proving property, and says Richard Shatswell would vouch for the truthfulness of the statement were he alive. The pig followed Mr. Low like a dog over the country, as he drove his ox team, for some time afterward.
